manahei New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/03/2008 5:13 pm Thanks for the reply, and yes, looks like it. Now I just need to figure out the year...scanner vs. microscope I reckon. Report this Post to the Staff
zerozero Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 08/03/2008 6:29 pm I'd be interested to know your results. I've got an old worn Large Cent, Draped Bust that I've dated to around 1796-98 but I can't get any more precise than that right now. One day I'm gonna get a scanner and try to upload some pics on this website for some help. But in the meantime I'd be very interested to follow your progress. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 08/05/2008 09:01 am with chrycopaul I can definitely see the trailing '2' From the obverse the style of Victoria dates 1860-1875. Staring long enough ( I have no life) - I think I can make out the '7' Report this Post to the Staff
